I know I'm a bit out of touch, but AIUI the NSProxy *is* the container. 
We decided a long time ago that a container was basically just a set of
namespaces, which includes all of the subsystems you mention.

This would suggesting re-write this patchset, part 2 as a "CPUSet
namespace", part 4 as a "CPU scheduling namespace", parts 5 and 6 as
"Resource Limits Namespace" (drop this "BeanCounter" brand), and of
course part 7 falls away.
